New Trustees Join Board of Education

Two new trustees joined the San Diego County Board of
Education Jan. 5: Alicia Muñoz and Doug Perkins.

They replaced Sharon C. Jones and Susan Hartley who left the
board in December, after years of service.

Alicia Muñoz represents District 3, which includes most of
the southeastern portions of the county. She teaches English as a second
language at Cuyamaca College, where she also serves as president of the
Academic Senate.

Doug Perkins represents District 5, which runs along the
coast from Del Mar to Camp Pendleton. Before joining the county Board of
Education, he served on the Del Mar Union School District board. Perkins owns a
small public relations and consulting firm that works primarily with public and
nonprofit organizations.

Susan Hartley was first elected to the San Diego County
Board of Education in 2002, representing District 5. Sharon Jones joined the
board in 2006 to represent District 3.
